Just posted shortly ago:

  • Sounds like they found some issues in the wing load tests that they’re addressing
  • We knew the machine shop was being brought in house, but it sounds like there’s some pretty serious investment on top of that.
  • They’re hiring more people to handle the order volume & keep lead times down

I like the direction they are heading with the investment in the inventory, tooling and staffing. The wing test issues were hinted at during the open house and I’m glad to see them update us head-on. The key for the customers is just going to be a lot of patience. I think this latest hurdle is going to take a good little while.

I agree that is seems like progress is being made. If I could make some changes with a magic wand, for those that have sent the big deposits, I’d like some special attention. Like a ongoing email chain once every few weeks. The videos are nice. Airventure took a lot for Sonex to stay on point. Yet I still want to know that they remember who got on board early. Ever since my check cashed I’ve had to reach out to them if I want some sort of update. Working on the patience part :nerd_face:
